Mrs. Everything is a great American novel, full of heart and hope., "It's deliciously fun: frothy entertainment with surprising depth. Big Summer is big fun, and then some. It's empowering and surprising --a reminder to put down the phone and enjoy each moment for what it is, rather than what it could look like on Instagram." -- The Washington Post, "Weiner's story of female friendships (after Mrs. Everything) mixes a splash of romance, a dash of humor, and a pinch of mystery to create a deliciously bloody poolside cocktail. Weiner's surprising tale is hard to put down." -- Publishers Weekly, "A new story perfect for summer ... Weiner's lighthearted, moving tale takes readers on a journey that explores the complexities of female friendship." -- The Hollywood Reporter, "Big Summer by Jennifer Weiner will make you rethink your old friendships, big time. This summer-lovin' novel tells the story of two friends who have lost touch, but get reconnected when one is about to get married. The twists and turns to come can be so #relatable, and really tug at your heartstrings. It's worth the read." -- Elite Daily, A topical novel about sisterhood, heartache, hope, and womanhood that takes readers through the 'herstory' of the second half of the 20th century., "Everything you'd hope to find in a beach read: complicated female friendships, unhappy rich people, a hardworking heroine with an eye for fashion, and an Instagram-worthy setting for an over-the-top wedding on Cape Cod." -- The Philadelphia Inquirer, "Weiner is deft at plumbing the depths of female friendship and developing characters readers will care about. This highly recommended book will appeal not only to the author's fans but also to a new audience looking for a fresh take on women's fiction." -- Library Journal (starred)

SynopsisAN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Sexy and satisfying, Big Summer is the perfect quarantine read." -- USA TODAY "The beach read to end all beach reads." -- Entertainment Weekly "Big fun, and then some. It's empowering and surprising--a reminder to put down the phone and enjoy each moment for what it is." -- The Washington Post A deliciously funny, remarkably poignant, and simply unputdownable novel about the power of friendship, the lure of frenemies, and the importance of making peace with yourself through all life's ups and downs. From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Good in Bed and Best Friends Forever , Big Summer is the perfect escape with one of the most lovable heroines to come to the page in years. Six years after the fight that ended their friendship, Daphne Berg is shocked when Drue Cavanaugh walks back into her life, looking as lovely and successful as ever, with a massive favor to ask. Daphne hasn't spoken one word to Drue in all this time--she doesn't even hate-follow her ex-best friend on social media--so when Drue asks if she will be her maid-of-honor at the society wedding of the summer, Daphne is rightfully speechless. Drue was always the one who had everything--except the ability to hold onto friends. Meanwhile, Daphne's no longer the same self-effacing sidekick she was back in high school. She's built a life that she loves, including a growing career as a plus-size Instagram influencer. Letting glamorous, seductive Drue back into her life is risky, but it comes with an invitation to spend a weekend in a waterfront Cape Cod mansion. When Drue begs and pleads and dangles the prospect of cute single guys, Daphne finds herself powerless as ever to resist her friend's siren song. A sparkling novel about the complexities of female relationships, the pitfalls of living out loud and online, and the resilience of the human heart, Big Summer is a witty, moving story about family, friendship, and figuring out what matters most.

Perfect summer beach book
It's not as deep and funny as most of the author's books; sometimes happens when a book is cranked out fast after the previous one. Best review I can give is the versatility of the characters is great and it's the best summer beach book out there.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
